[SOLVED] Which monitor should i buy?

[maurilt]

Hi, im about to change my old Samsung S23b350 23" 1080p 60Hz TN Panel for a monitor with a 27".
Now i have only 2 models in my country (Argentina) in my budget and i dont know which one should i buy. Need some help.
These are the two models from Samsung:

Samsung C27FG73 (1080p 144hz Freesync Qled VA)

What will you be doing with this monitor?

Hi, a mix of casual games (nothing competitive), movies and some work also.
I have read that in 27 inches the resolution 1080p is not good because it is possible to see the image pixelated.
Thats true?
I use the monitor at 60 cm.

What is your graphic card? Is it also a possibility to change the graphic card?

Yes if the monitor's size is more than 24" you will see the pixels, and it will decrease your user experience. So that means you should prefer a 1440p monitor.

But if your graphic card is not that capable, and you are not thinking about an upgrade then you should prefer a 1080p monitor - with a catch: buy a 24" monitor instead or buy the 1440p monitor, but play the games full HD, until you have the money to also upgrade the graphic card.

Then go with the 1440p monitor. It makes a big difference over a 1080p monitor.

Ok.
Is important to have Freesync? it makes so much difference at gameplay?

1440 p does not have it? It is bad. Freesync is a must. QHD is demanding and even with the best GPU you cannot get constant 144 Hz, so that means you will face screen tearing. I also read some about the QHD monitor, not so good. It these two are the whole options then go with HD monitor.

Personally, I'd go for 1440p with a 27" monitor. Freesync/Gsync/VRR is really a necessity for an enjoyable experience.

I will go for the 1440p monitor.
Thank you so much.
